Popular Michigan teacher was fired for tweeting "Trump is our president."
Justin Kucera, a social studies teacher and baseball coach at Walled Lake Western High School, says he was confronted by his superiors for tweeting the following, and given an ultimatum: resign or be fired.
"I’m done being silent.
@realDonaldTrump is our president
Don’t @ me
8:28 PM · Jul 6, 2020"
He wasn't even really endorsing Trump but saying he meant this message to be "unifying", stating the fact that Trump is president with the implication that people of all parties should want him to succeed. This was apparently after he had also endorsed the idea of schools reopening in the fall (as Doctor Fauci has, btw).

He's gotten glowing reviews, even from Democrat students, and people say he didn't bring politics into the classroom. The school denied he was fired for supporting Trump but refused to give an alternative reason. And the teacher's union, which has of course endorsed Biden, claimed his tweet is grounds for firing him, because it could supposedly "imped(e) the business of the school".

Meanwhile other teachers at the school have posted anti-Trump, pro-Democrat stuff without consequence, and universities in particular are almost exclusively filled with Marxists, economic and/or social, who not only bring their politics into the classroom but have replaced education with indoctrination.
But sure, let's fire one of the few exceptions, by all accounts one of the good teachers. No wonder the US education system sucks so bad now.
"Academic freedom." Riiight.
